Hello This is my first comunication, I could not get into forum before. Ive been using Kanotix for about 6 months. Its great. I cannot get other linux to connect to internet, but kanotix does. It does nearly all the things i need, still trying new stuff.

Recently reinstalled Kanotix and during update upgrade and install of latest files i came onto a problem.

when i typed apt-get update I got a message...
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I ran this in the terminal and then Kanotix said to restart, but still comes up with the same message when i do apt-get update, so i am unable to upgrade.

the full text is attched for info. I would appreciate help if anyone can tell me what i am doing wrong, or advise me what i need to do to get past this.
